The
Justice Department filed an amicus brief Wednesday saying that Title
VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not cover employment
“discrimination based on sexual orientation.”  

The
DOJ filed the brief in the case of Donald Zarda, who had filed suit
against his former employer Altitude Express in a case that questions
whether sexual orientation is included in Title VII’s protections.

Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.
